SCENE OF BANK FAILURE.
Macomb is the county fieat of Mc
Donough County, Illinois,- and. ia the
site of the Western Illinois Normal
School and inanufacturee of earthen
ware, drain pipes, etc. . The. popula
tion in 1000 was 6375.
Colchester ds in the same county, S3
miles from Quincy, and has similar
industries as well as manufacturing
several varieties of brick. The popu
lation In. 1900 was 1635.
Bardolph is. Beven miles from Ma
comb and foas grain interests." The
population In 1900 was 387.
PEORIA, El.. Nov.. 30c Three bank,
lng institutions in McDonough .County
conducted by C. V. Chandler, of Ma
comb, closed their doors today. Notices
to the effect that the banks are short
of ready cash, were posted on the doors
of all the banks. This decision was
reached yesterday on an examination
of the books by Mr. Chandler him
self.. . ',
The banks are the Bank of Macomb,
conducted by C. V. Chandler & Co., de
posits of $450,000 and capitalized at
$50,000; the Chandler & Imes Bank at
Colchester, capitalized at $23,000 and
deposits of $200,033, and the Chandler
& Smith Bank, of Bardolph, capitalized
at $-5,000, with $60,000 deposits.
Cash Tied Up in Land and Bonds.
The money of the depositors in all
three banks has been invested through
Mr. Chandler, the senior member of
the private banking- firms. In McDon
ough County real estate, and the im
mediate cause of the suspension of the
three institutions is given as a lack
of reajy cash. The Macomb bank guar
anteed the payment of the bonds of
the Macomb & Western Illinois Klec
trlc Railway and when the bondhold
ers made a demand for their money
they absorbed all the ready cash of
the three institutions.
The following notice appeared on the
doors of 'all three banks, signed by C.
V. Chandler and the other members of
:the firms in the respective towns:
"This bank is closed pending negotiations-
subject to the conversion of
tho property into ready cash. .The
bauk is solvent and all depositors will
be paid In full.' There is ample prop
erty to meet all obligations, and all
amount of time to convert the hold
ings Into money."..
'' Treasurer of School and City.
C. V. Chandler has been in the bank
ing business in Maoomb for a quarter
of a century, and in addition to his
private holdings is treasurer of the
Western Illinois State Normal School,
of Macomb, and treasurer of the- city
of Macomb. It is not thought either
the state school, or .the city will lose
by the failure of the banks. The state
is protected by a trust company bond,
and the city's deposits in the bank are
email at this time of the year.
Mr. Chandler made a statement to
day setting forth in effect what was
-stated in the notices posted on the
doors of the banks. The liabilities are
.'more than $700,000, with unincumbered
real estate worth over $400,300. The
mortgages are mostly on Central Illi
nois farms and are- considered good.
There was little show of excitement
over the closing of the banks. In
Colchester the major part of the de
positors are miners.

'. In the investigation by the local in
spectors of hulls and boilers,' Inspector

at fault as Andrew Martin, first mate,
and recommended the suspension of Port
er's license for six months. Both inspec
tors recommended the suspension of the
first mate's license for six months.
Captain Bermingham's action is un
precedented. Heretofore it has been the
practice of the supervising inspector to
approve or reject the local inspector's
decision.

MEAT WAR IN THE GHETTO
Jewish Women Kesent Advance In
Price With Boycott.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30 A war on butch
ers of the East Side Ghetto has been
started by women residents of the district
as a protest against the high price of
meat. Recently the butchers put up the
price of meat 2 cents a pound, with the
excuse that the packers had again
raised the prices to the butchers, and
they had to follow suit.
Housewives held a meeting - yester
day at the home of Mrs. Esther D.olbob-
sky, at No. 42 East Fourth street. Nearly
50 women were present. Mrs. Delbobsky
told the women she thought the prices of
meat were outrageous and advised a
strike against the butchers.
Mrs. Delbobsky and Mrs. Rebecca Rese
nick went to a meat shop In the neigh
borhood as pickets, and immediately be
gan addressing a large company -of wo
men customers, advising them to boycott
the butchers. As the women cheered, the
butchers became excited and tried to dis
perse them. A battle followed. In which
clubs were used and various missiles
thrown. .
Mrs. Delbobsky and Mrs. Resenick were
struck In the face with sharp missiles and
both received serious outs,, as well , as
other injuries. Several other women were

the doorways of many other East Side
butcher shops. "Women - with shawls
pulled over their faces, upset ddewalk
stands and broke open crates containing
live chickens. Mrs. Rosa Mensen, during
a meat shop commotion on Madison street,
addressed a meeting: "Look," she said,
"what fools we are to buy meat when fish
Is cheaper. Fish is better than meat. It
is more nourishing."
In Second street, Irvington street, For
sythe and Delancey streets, groups of
women stood in front of the butcher shops

. Fearing a repetition of the meat riots
of five years ago, when much property
was destroyed, the butchers have begun
organizing. Louis Kirsch, president of the
organization, declares the 4000 meat mar
kets on the East Side will be closed rather
than attempt to combat a strike against
them by -the women of the tenements.
As a result of the war on meat, the
